Summary: Man a yard is set in the 1970's when many Jamaican businessmen were leaving the island. Thomas, a tailorman, more nationalistic in his vision, was trying to establish a viable tailoring establishment. Apart from the difficulties he had in the general society, he also had difficulties at home with his wife who was thinking of migrating. He himself is not blameless and contributes to the difficulties he is having. When the curtain closes, we will see how successful he has been in establishing himself as Man a yard both privately and publicly. This DVD was filmed live in Kingston, Jamaica at the Ward Theatre, July 2006. It is a rework of the original play which was first staged in 1986 in Miami, Florida Caleb Center.
